Oh no taking me back to my computer lab days at Uni.
I know back in the day if you wanted to transfer files from a Unix server to a PC there was a program we ran.
I thought that was just for text files though, where the program changed the formating so it would read properly, I remember having to run that program both when I was putting code I had done on the PC at home onto the unix workstation at school and when I did the reverse and was taking something home.
I don't think a binary file like an EXE would suffer the same fate, and even the text file since you are downloading the PC version, it would still be the PC version at home.
So unless you are doing something with it while it is on the Unix server I cannot see that being a problem.
One other thing is that maybe some antivirus software running on your work machine is corupting the patch in some way. Or you were just really unlucky in your first two attempts.
If I think of anything else I will post back here.
